#oext163 Where in the World Are We?

Open a web browser and go to Geoguessr.com. Select Single Player (or challenge someone). Geoguessr is a game using Google Maps StreetView where you need to guess where you were randomly placed in the world.

Use Google (or your search engine of choice) to look up clues you find as you wander around such as road signs, business names, place names, etc…

When you think you know where you are located, click the place on the map and Make a Guess. You will be scored based on how far away you are.

Take a screenshot of one of your results and post it to Twitter. Let’s see how geographically Sherlock Holmes we are using clues we find.

#oext163 thanks @ontarioextend for GeoGuessr - I’ll pass it on to a colleague to use in her class. And there’s app for it - works better than the web version. And I finished 5 rounds - went to Brazil, Poland, Quebec, Mexico, & Peru pic.twitter.com/qpsCGFkwOt

@ontarioextend#oext163 The best and the worst of the 5 rounds. Round 5 Cirque de Combe Laval in France (recognized it from a video I'd seen) at 8.4 km. Round 2 is location in Finland at 6646 km. This is a really cool site. Want to play more when I have the time! pic.twitter.com/uVZ8T74mx2

#oext163@ontarioextend here’s a GeoGuessr round I gave up on. My guess would have been “middle of nowhere” (literally clicked the movement arrows over 30 times and everything still looked the same though I know I was moving) pic.twitter.com/S6aZ7VNrG0
